Harry Pagancoss Joins International Culinary Tourism Association as Celebrity Spokesperson


Atlanta, GA, USA January 22, 2012 – Internationally recognized food television personality, Harry Pagancoss, has teamed up with the International Culinary Tourism Association (ICTA), the world's foremost authority on culinary travel, to promote culinary cultures around the world, gourmet travel and the newly launched FoodTrekker.com as celebrity spokesperson for the organization and brand.

“My goal is to help inspire the thousands of people who navigate the globe every year to make travel choices based on the culinary uniqueness of a place. I strongly believe that having access to and knowledge of the culinary richness of a city, region or country, is the best way to enjoy its essence, to get to know its people and its history. It is also another great way to help promote businesses and industry at the local level. The ICTA and FoodTrekker provide the perfect platform to help me with that endeavor,” said Harry Pagancoss, celebrity chef, entrepreneur and passionate foodie. "I am thrilled to be promoting culinary travel in various ways and very proud to support the International Culinary Tourism Association’s efforts."

In his role as Organization spokesperson, Harry Pagancoss will represent the ICTA and partner brand FoodTrekker (where Harry maintains his own channel), in key advertising and marketing campaigns, through personal appearances and in digital and social media activities.

“We’re delighted to be working with Harry,” said Erik Wolf, the Association’s President. “Harry shares a similar philosophy with our organizations. It’s a very compatible relationship.”
